Stitches Used

The pattern incorporates fundamental knitting stitches that form the foundation of garment making. Expect to work primarily with garter stitch and stockinette stitch throughout the main fabric, with ribbed edgings on cuffs, waistbands, and necklines to provide structure and elasticity. These classic stitches create a neat, professional finish while remaining accessible to beginners.
